There are plenty of rats in trappers cabins in the foothills/mountains of Alberta.Alberta may be free of rats in local areas, but is not rat free.A trapper from Cadomin Alberta had me hold on to one pitch fork while he stabbed a rat behind the woodpile in his cabin. He has been a trapper for decades and has not once visited his cabin without killing a rat.

Other trappers have told me the same thing.They also laugh when they hear that Alberta is Rat Free.
